Description

The Yankee Captain in Patagonia is a vintage 1940s hardcover book with dust jacket by Charles J. Finger, and illustrated by Henry C. Pitz.

The book is in very good condition for its age. The dust jacket is present, but has some small tears, as you can see in the photographs. The pages inside are yellowed from age, but are all still attached and clean. It feels like it has never been read or fully opened. There is a slight odor from age.

This swashbuckling adventure book was part of the Story Parade Adventure Book series by Grosset & Dunlap.

According to the back cover, the story is "the true tale of the sea about a pirate who wanted to be king, and Captain Brown with his crew of eight who outwitted him."

A further description from the inside of the dust jacket reads as follows: "In the days of sailing ships and pirates and convict settlements, strange adventures were the order of the day. Few adventures were any stranger, though, than that of Captain Brown, of Boston, in command of the Florida.

Mr. Brown sailed out of Valparaiso, Chile, with a crew of eight, a single passenger and a cargo of some eighty convicts -- and straight into a most curious adventure with a pirate who would be king.

But there was not only the swashbuckling pirate, Cambiaso, who set himself up as king of Patagonia; there was also the convict band that had taken over the settlement; the vessel Eliza Cornish captured by the pirates; and a storm that almost got the better even of Mr. Brown.

Young readers will find this true tale of a Yankee captain's bravery an exciting experience."

Here are a couple of interesting articles on the artist and illustrator for this book, Henry C. Pitz:

I try to accurately describe my items for sale, but please contact me first if an item doesn't work out for you after you receive it. Refunds will be made if you return the item to me in the condition in which it was sent to you. Refunds can take a couple of billing cycles to show up in your account.

Here are some updates to purchases made in the EU that customers want to return. I have quoted a couple of parts that pertain to my shop, but the full version can be viewed here:

"Buyers residing in countries that are subject to these regulations have the right to return an item within 14 days of receiving the item. Sellers affected by the regulations must clearly inform buyers residing in these countries about their right to return an item before the buyer makes a purchase (such as in the listing or the seller’s shop policies). Failure to do so will extend the withdrawal period by an additional year, meaning that buyers will have a period of one year and 14 fourteen days in which to return the item.

...

If a buyer exercises their right to return an item, a seller must reimburse all payments, including the original shipping charges, received from the buyer. If a seller has not received returned goods from a buyer, the seller may withhold such reimbursement provided that reimbursement occurs within 14 days of receipt of the returned goods. The buyer is responsible for paying return shipping costs unless the seller has agreed to bear those costs. If a seller has not agreed to bear return costs and the item cannot, due to its nature, be returned by post, an estimate of the return costs should be included in the information provided to the buyer relating to cancellation and return."

Here is a link to the cancellation form needed by me if you return an item: http://extfiles.etsy.com/cancellation-forms/EUCancellationFormEN.pdf

Please just ask if you have any questions. Thanks!

Shipping policies

I ship within two business days of payment, and I often use clean recycled packaging for shipping.

If shipping costs are significantly lower than what I charged you, you will receive a partial refund via PayPal or Etsy, depending on how you paid me. This refund can take a couple of billing cycles to show up in your account.

International shipments may be subject to taxes, VAT, duties, and customs fees upon arrival in your country. These rates are set by the country in which you live and you will be responsible for these fees at the time of purchase and/or when your purchase arrives. VAT and customs fees are not included on the prices that you see in my shop.

Books will often be sent via Media Mail to save money on postage, meaning they will take a little longer than "normal" to get to you.

VAT and customs fees are not included on the prices that you see in my shop.

U.S. state sales tax might be added by Etsy to your purchase in my shop, per the laws of your state.

Items you purchase come from a smoke-free home, but I mainly sell vintage items I have purchased from someone who may have smoked and/or had pets. I try to describe any flaws including odors, but please keep in mind that my sense of smell might be weaker than yours.

Please contact me with any questions you have and I'll see what I can do to accommodate your needs. Need more photos of anything or additional info? Just ask. Thanks!

Please ask if you want me to cut a piece of fabric in the length that you need. I will usually be more than happy to oblige, unless it is a really small piece, typically under one yard!

People have asked me for the measurements of the dress form I use to display clothing.
Most of the clothing featured in my shop uses these dress form measurements:
Just the white part of the torso: 26" long (66.04 cm)
Neck circumference: 13" (33.02 cm)
Shoulder to shoulder: 16" across (40.64 cm)
Bust circumference: 34" around (86.36 cm)
Waist circumference: 26.5" around (67.31 cm)
Hip circumference: 36" around (91.44 cm)

Measurements for each piece of clothing are taken with it laid out flat. You would double these measurements to get a general idea of circumference.

If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
